Drifting devices used by the global tuna fishing industry are entering marine protected areas worldwide, creating potential ...

The tuna in your sandwich was likely caught with the aid of drifting rafts called fish aggregating devices (FAD). New Canadian research finds that abandoned FADs are smashing into coral reefs and ...

A new international study co-authored by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher found that drifting devices used by the ...

Drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs) are floating rafts with underwater netting used by fishing vessels to attract tuna. A recent study estimated that between 2007 and 2021, 1.41 million dFADs ...

Fishermen hold empirical knowledge that tuna aggregate under floating objects, such as lengths of old rope, pieces of wood, or even large marine mammals. There is still no full explanation for this ...

They are large rafts that drift thousands of kilometers across the ocean surface, moving with the currents in an otherwise featureless marine environment. Tracked by satellites, the rudimentary floats ...

Spain's large freezer tuna vessel organization, also known as OPAGAC, has announced an industry-led initiative to support the recovery of drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs) in the Eastern ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Tuna fisheries often rely on fish aggregating devices (FADs), floating human-made structures that fish congregate around, which makes it relatively ...

Understanding the impact of modern fishing techniques is critical to ensure the sustainability of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) tuna fishery—the largest tuna fishery in the world that ...
